NEW PHILADELPHIA - No doubt about it, this will be a Devil of a contest! The Co-Sectional Champions, the Midvale Blue Devils (20-1), will be carrying the county banner against the touted Brilliant Blue Devils (15-8) crew on the Dover hardwood tonight at 8:00. The Blue Devils aggregation of Head Coach Ralph "Pete" Hilliard won its District berth by ousting the Killbuck Bucks 84-83 in a highly controversial double-overtime contest that was marked by much name calling and shoulder pushing.
The Brilliant-Midvale victor of this evening will meet the Conotton Valley Rockets (16-6)-Hiland Hawks (20-2) winner on Friday for the A District Championship. The Rockets and Hawks clash on Tuesday evening.
In additional to the regular District action in the Class A ranks this year, there is a sort-of Consolation game for the Runner-up of the Dover event and the Runner-up of the Marietta District. These 2 teams, which will be unveiled with the title games on Friday, will meet at Dennison on Saturday evening for a 3rd Regional berth. The Dover and Dennison winners will move to Canton for Regional play, while the Marietta victor will trek to Athens next week.
Tickets for the District Tournament is available at all of the schools involved. Adult ducats (tickets) are selling for $1.00. The student ducats will sell for only 60 cents for the affair at Dover. There will be no Reserved Seats at the site; although, fans will be assured of a seat at Dover if they arrive before 6:30. They will be admitted through the rear door, if they possess advanced sale tickets. The Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday games involved in the Class A District event will start at 8:00.
